Fred Davis

On October 21, Pro Football Talk tweeted the following about Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis:

Redskins are trying to trade TE Fred Davis, per league source.

The report wasn't shocking, as the former USC standout had only three catches for 25 yards on the season.

He hasn't played since October 13's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, and has been a healthy scratch for the past two games.

Rookie tight end Jordan Reed has been a pleasant surprise for the Redskins with 34 receptions for 388 yards and two touchdowns in seven games.

The soon-to-be 28-year-old veteran brings an athletic presence to the field at 6'4'' and nearly 260 pounds. Davis was suspended for the final four games in 2011 after violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Now, just because the Giants are "resisting" offers from other teams doesn't mean they are willing to move the soon-to-be 26-year-old wideout.

According to National Football Post's Jason Cole, Tom Coughlin "indicated Wednesday that Nicks hasn’t been as reliable this season."

Though Nicks' lost some value this season with generally inconsistent play through the first six games, he had seven receptions for 51 yards on 12 targets in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8.
